Recent years have seen an increased interest in the economic and non-economic impacts of anti- discrimination (AD) policies across the social sciences, with a majority of the work focusing on developed economies (Holzer and Neumark, 2000). While the traditional response of economists to affirmative action (AA) policy has been negative, more and more research is showing positive effects in settings where discrimination is deep-rooted1. A number of unresolved issues relating to the effective design of such policy remain, however. These include how to minimize stigma effects and stereotyping effects, at what ages interventions should take place, whether these policies carry disincentives for skill investment and if there are any effects on the majority. Above all, there is a lack of research linking anti-discrimination policies to the individual level.
